Jose Quiroga
We’re very excited about our first event for this year, coffee with Professor José Quiroga from Emory University. Rather than a formal presentation or reading group, we hope to spark a productive conversation with Professor Quiroga on queer studies and methodologies. In this light, we’re circulating a copy of the introduction to his book Tropics of Desire: Interventions from Queer Latin America (2001) and his remarks from a roundtable discussion on new directions in multiethnic, racial, and global queer studies, published in GLQ in 2003. Coffee and Conversation with Jose Quiroga November 18th, 2011 Sproul 912 10 AM
